Hmm... doing this in all protocols would be too expensive, and we do not want to include time spent in qdiscs. wifi could eventually do that, providing in skb->tx_completion_delay_us the time spent in wifi driver. This way, we would have no penalty for network devices doing normal skb orphaning (loopback interface, ethernet, ...) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
